Wireless Headphones
These are by far the best wireless earbuds I have used. We have tried Motorola, Beats, and a few others and the Jaybirds are the best so far. They are reliable, sound great, stay in place, comfortable, and they are easy to use. They are sweat proof so far and keep a charge for several work outs. They also come with a great carrying case to keep them protected.
NutriBullet
Out of all the blenders we have tried, this one not only works the best, but it is also the most reliable. We've had the same one for over 3 years now and it's still going strong. It is smaller in size compared to most other blenders, so it is easier to store. I am not really sure why, but this blender makes protein shakes better than any blender I have ever tried! I love the different sizes of cups that it comes with. They are the perfect sizes for hubby, me and our boys. I use this thing daily, sometimes several times a day. It's really awesome!!
Instant Pot
Oh my goodness!!! This thing is amazing. My mom got this Pressure Cooker for me last year, and I have used the heck out of it. I am not exaggerating when I say that I use it daily. It has so many different functions and I have made the most delicious dinners with it. It is a slow cooker, a pressure cooker, a rice cooker, it's a steamer, a warmer, and can even sauté/brown meats and veggies! My favorite part is that it takes me 15 minutes to put something together in the morning, throw it all in on slow cooking mode, and voila! The house smells amazing alllllllll day long, and some of my most delicious meals have come out of this thing! Seriously worth the investment!!
PowerBlocks
These are a lifesaver when it comes to working out at home. They require very little space and you can get a full workout in with them. We used to have a few sets of dumbbells laying around but they took up a lot of space, and we were limited with just the weights we had. These have a huge range (5-90lbs EACH!!) to choose from and are very easy to switch to the desired weight. If you are planning on working out at home or you are just looking for something to hold you over on days you cannot make it into the gym, I HIGHLY recommend these! They have worked great for us and although they are a bit on the pricey side, they are well worth the investment!
PowerBlocks Stand
If you are going to work out at home with the PowerBlocks, this stand comes in VERY handy. This allows you to put the weights down without bending all the way over. It also saves your floors. We have wood floors and wanted to prevent these weights from destroying them. You could always just put the weights down softly, but we really prefer the stand. Before purchasing this stand, I remember being a bit skeptical. I was scared it would be easily tip-able with 180 pounds sitting on it, and didn't want my boys to accidentally bump into it, tip it, and hurt themselves. After getting it home, and all set up with our weights on it, I realized how sturdy it is and have never once had a problem with it. It's very well built, and we are glad we bought it!
Sports Bra
I have been asked by lots of friends where my sports bras are from. These are them, they're from Victoria's Secret and are by far my favorite. I wear one daily, whether I'm working out or not. They are totally comfy and the perfect amount of support for my girls 😉
Polar FT4
I wanted one of these for sooooooo long, and like most moms I know, I just couldn't bring myself to spend money on something that I really didn't NEED :/ I ended up getting one for Christmas last year and I LOVE it!! Call me crazy, but I really feel like I push myself harder in the gym when I'm wearing it and can see what my heart rate is. When my heart rate starts getting lower and lower, it makes me want to work 10 x's harder. I love that it shows how many calories I burn during a workout. My hubby and I actually race to see who can beat their number of burned calories from the previous workout. It's lots of fun and has really given me some great workouts!! The chest strap is light and comfortable. I wear it right under my sports bra band, and I can't even tell that it's there! If you're in the market for a heart rate monitor, I highly recommend the Polar FT4!
Polar FT7
I have loved my Polar FT4 SO much, that I ordered the FT7 for my hubby. He's been weight lifting for 20 years, so I was a little nervous that he wouldn't want to wear it, or would think it was weird or dorky. But I'm so happy to say that he really likes it! He wears it during his workouts, and sometimes even wears it all day long to see how many calories he's burning. He has a 8-5 desk job where he sits in his office all day long, so his Polar is a good reminder to get up and walk around a bit throughout the day. The strap is comfortable and never bothers him. Overall, a great purchase and he's happy I ordered it!! 🙂 Wifey win!!
Get your own personal stylist!
Stitch Fix has been such a life saver for me. I live in a small desert town in Southern California and the closest mall is an hour away. I have two boys who don't love to go clothes shopping and let's be honest, I really don't love clothes shopping for myself anyways. My biggest reason for trying Stitch Fix is because my daily outfits usually consist of gym clothes and trying to look cute every now and then was virtually impossible for me because I really didn't know what was in style besides Nikes and Lululemons 🙂 I'm so glad I gave Stitch Fix a shot. It's so easy...just sign up, create your profile, get on Pinterest and start searching for styles that you like and that you would wear. Pin them and let your stylist do the rest. It's like Christmas morning every time that turquoise box shows up on my front porch. I get to bring it in, and try everything on in the comfort of my own home, without that horrendous fluorescent dressing room lighting. If I don't like something, I send it back. You don't get charged until you decide what you want to keep and what you want to send back. You can schedule fixes as often as you'd like and request special things that you're looking for. So far, my stylists have really impressed me and always pick the cutest pieces. I'm addicted!
